I've been fishing off and on since I was a kid. Since my boys are getting to the age where they can enjoy fishing, I'm harkening off into a new religion: fly fishing.

I've resisted as long as I could, but here I am. A group of friends and I take a semi-annual trip to WV for a weekend fishing trip. I was introduced to trout fishing in this way just last spring. Although I've outfitted myself with a couple of St. Croix spinning rods and Mitchell reels, I yearn for something more. I'm not "married" to St. Croix, but I really like their stuff. I'm not into paying alot for fly fishing, although that will probably change as time goes on.

Axle, welcome. MORE TROUT FISHERS! I love it. I feel left out with all this Bluegill, Crappie, and Bass fishererers.
I have those species here, I just prefer Trout. Maybe in the future we can do a fly swap, that is a great way to get flies we have all tried and had good luck with.

I second the "nothing wrong with St Croix" They have a nice 10' 5wt. I was looking at, and the price is very decent.
